What more do we need? All of those short of Bo are still raw prospects. We lack a number D men prospects especially on the right side. We lack quality on the wings in both the NHL and AHL. Still a ways to go. Some of the prospects we have may work out, more won’t. Far to early to call Quinn a franchise d. man. If all our prospects are going to be as good as we hope they will be then we are still short a few D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 No to Bo moving on. But I'd much rather have Benn at 9.5 than Lucic at 6. We can't afford full market value, we don't have the assets, but if things are really soured beyond fixing maybe this? Swap 1st round picks, Dallas gets a nice upgrade from 18 to 10 and we still get a good prospect. Then maybe Virtanen and a quality prospect like Lind. I don't know that gets it done but thats maybe the best we could actually afford without setting back the rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeserker Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Provost said: It was a bad year for him... and most of the Dallas roster. The year before that he scored 36 goals and 79 points. He is a PPG player consistently. I take the risk it was an off year any day. A PPG top line LW who plays physical hockey... if you asked Benning his exact wish list it would be that and a RD with a point shot. Folks can argue about the price, but if anyone says they don’t want Benn as a player, even at that contract, they have been huffing too much glue. No he isn't. Did you mean 0.87 ppg player who jumped the shark 4 years ago and is on the backside of his career? Edited May 11, 2019 by Boeserker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 13 minutes ago, Provost said: Read my actual post. The only way it works for us is if he pulls a Kesler and demands a Trade here. We aren’t going to pay full market price for Benn, and they aren’t going to get it for him since he holds a NMC. Well fair enough. Pretty sure the asking price will be high.

Maybe I can suck it up as long as he doesn't suck like Eriksson. Hopefully we can get that contract out of here in the process. Let it go, man.

BlueDragon23 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Benn would be an awesome acquisition but we’d have to give up something big in return like Horvat. That AINT happening yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Dizzle Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 What was the kesler trade....? Bonino, Sbisa and 24th? upgrade my previous offer of 10 to 10 and Sutter. We get a top line winger and make room for AG :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean 0.87 ppg player who jumped the shark 4 years ago and is on the backside of his career? That is entirely disingenuous and flat out wrong. He is a career .87 (which is remarkable in itself), but that is including his first year in the league ten years ago when he was a paltry .5 PPG and brings down his career average). He has been remarkably consistent for the vast bulk of his career. His past six years in order .98 PPG; 1.06 PPG; 1.09 PPG; .90 PPG; .96 PPG; ,68 PPG. No jumping the shark four years ago there... and perfectly consistent player who had a below average year this season. Not sure how he jumped that shark four years ago when last season he had his 2nd best career goal total and scored 79 points in 82 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Just Ottawa. Everyone else has guys to sign that will take them there without having to artificially add. Ottawa is at $45 million for 14 players, only Ceci as an internal signing that will take up any real cap. They need to get to a little over $60 million probably and want to play more of their kids who will be on ELCs.

Trebreh Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 if indeed true that he would only consider Vancouver to be traded to, the Stars wouldn't have any leverage to demand a Bo Horvat or any of our top prospects. we should give them the Anaheim special we got for Kesler. 1st 2020 (unprotected to entice them) + Goldobin + Virtanen + Eriksson Zach McEwen replaces Jake's physicality and Goldy gets replaced by Gaudette full time. then throw the bank at Karlsson and you get this lineup for our 50th anniversary Benn - Pettersson - Boeser Beartschi - Horvat - Leivo Pearson - Sutter - Gaudette Roussel - Beagle - MacEwen Edler - Karlsson Hughes - Tanev Juolevi - Stecher 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just what we need. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/jamie-benn 6 more years at 9.5 per though. Dallas would probably want a lot. Plus there's the Aquilini/ Gaglardi thing that almost makes me think it'd be near impossible to get him. They're business partners now on a MASSIVE development and it's smoothed over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so the team (Dallas) announced from my recollection rather than from the horses mouth (Benn). Forgive my skepticism. It was a cheap shot at two classy individuals who deserved better respect than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post higgyfan Posted May 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2019 9.5m X 6yrs for a 30yr old player with a NMC who was just reprimanded (along with his BFF), to quit slacking off. Would rather see one of the great UFAs (or next year) signed for similar amount and keep Juolevi and Virtanen. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
